We chatted with Erica Ferg, Assistant Professor at Regis, to learn more about the B.A. in Liberal Arts program:
In your opinion, what are the greatest strengths of the liberal arts program at Regis?
Ferg: Recent studies of employers across various sectors tell us that employers want graduates who have liberal arts skills. These kinds of liberal arts skills include problem solving, emotional intelligence and effective teamwork, communication skills and ethical values. At Regis, we offer classes that intentionally and effectively build exactly these skills.
What differentiates the Regis B.A. in Liberal Arts from similar programs at other universities?
Ferg: We are a dedicated degree-completion program. We accept up to 90 transfer credits, so that you can put your past experience to immediate use and earn your degree sooner. Regis is also a Jesuit educational institution, embodying the best of the Jesuit intellectual tradition. We have faculty who care about you and who want to help you become the best possible version of yourself.
What type of student thrives in the B.A. in Liberal Arts program at Regis? What sort of talents and abilities are useful in the program?
